America in the 1930s and 40s was a nation ripe with segregation and discrimination. This presentation examines how the Roosevelts promoted progressive policies and programs, such as Executive Order 8802, support for Marian Anderson and the creation of the Tuskegee Airmen, in the face of prejudice during the Great Depression and World War II.
